Profile:

A young, wonderfully designed broodmare, Natea is a Junior Spring Show class Top Five honoree among perhaps the hardest competition of the show’s history – the first crop of stellar GAZAL AL SHAQAB daughters, including the ethereal PIANISSIMA. Already branded a “maker of champions” abroad, GAZAL confir­med this acclaim in Poland, one by one siring exquisite sons and daughters out of different broodmares, an elite collection which includes EMANDORIA, PIETA, ETNOLOGIA, PEROLIA, WKRA, NORMA, PISTORIA, WILDA, PASSIONARIA, PINGA, BELGICA, EJRENE, EQUIFOR, PEGASUS, ERYKS, DRABANT, EL AZEM, PIZARRO, PORTO, HUN & GEORGETOWN. The strong genetic heritage of GAZAL AL SHAQAB is further amplified by that of the “P” line of PIEWICA through Natea’s maternal sire PERS. One of the most renowned Polish damlines in the world today, most recently by the incomparable achievements of its poster child PIANISSIMA, the family of PIEWICA has been producing invaluable brood­matrons and chief sires in each successive generation. This extraordinary legacy of superior Arabian produce includes PENTODA, PENICYLINA, PESAL, PERFORACJA, POGANIN, PERSEUSZ, PEGASUS, PEPESZA, PORTO, PRADO, PETARDA, PSYCHE KREUZA, PSYCHE VICTORIA, PEREŁKA, PERSEN­KÓWKA, PENITENT, PEPTON, PEPI, PIECHUR, PIRUET, PILARKA, PIPI, PIANOLA, PILOT, PIAFF, PISTACJA, PALMETA, PALABRA, PIKARDIA, PILAR, PIETA, PINGA, PINTA & PIANOSA, to name but a few. PERS himself, a son of Polish National Champions ENOS & PENTODA, was especially valued for his powerful movement with incredible length of stride and is best remembered as the sire of two of Poland’s best ever trotters – FRASKATA & OSTRAGON – who repeatedly received perfect “20s” and standing ovations for their performances. On the distaff side Natea is a direct descendant of the athletically gifted Russian import NOMA, whose daughter NEWADA established an “N” family in Polish breeding with several accomplished descendants, including Oaks winner NADOBA, UK Ridden & Halter Champion NIMB, Junior Spring Show class Top Five finalists NEPAL, NOKAUT & NAIS, Polish National class Top Five finalists NASIRA & NOSTALGIA, Kurozwęki broodmatron of importance NEJTYCZANKA, National Endurance Champion NENUFAR and the double European Arabian Show Jumping Champion – NINIWA. Natea’s dam NUTELLA is interestingly linebred to the marvellous COMET daughter ENGRACJA through her son ERNAL and grandson ENOS. Breathtakingly beautiful and ideally conformed, she was moreover a tremendous brood­matron, having produced Salon du Cheval Champion Stallion ENGANO, European Champion Filly & Polish National Reserve Champion Filly ENKLAWA & the handsome valiant racer ERNAL. Combining the best Polish and Egyptian bloodlines in the breed, Natea promises to be a brood­mare of merit to the best international programs.
